  • Several ACPI drivers fail to build if CONFIG_NET is unset, because
    they refer to things depending on CONFIG_THERMAL that in turn depends
    on CONFIG_NET. However, CONFIG_THERMAL doesn't really need to depend
    on CONFIG_NET, because the only part of it requiring CONFIG_NET is
    the netlink interface in thermal_sys.c.

    Put the netlink interface in thermal_sys.c under #ifdef CONFIG_NET
    and remove the dependency of CONFIG_THERMAL on CONFIG_NET from
    drivers/thermal/Kconfig.

  • Due to poor thermal design or Linux driving hardware outside its thermal
    envelope, some systems will reach critical temperature and shut down
    under high load. This patch adds support for forcing a polling-based
    passive trip point if the firmware doesn't provide one. The assumption
    is made that the processor is the most practical means to reduce the
    dynamic heat generation, so hitting the passive thermal limit will cause
    the CPU to be throttled until the temperature stabalises around the
    defined value.

    UI is provided via a "passive" sysfs entry in the thermal zone
    directory. It accepts a decimal value in millidegrees celsius, or "0" to
    disable the functionality. Default behaviour is for this functionality
    to be disabled.
